Adjectives are a fundamental part of language. We use adjectives to describe nouns in our everyday lives in a range of situations.
It is important for students to grasp the ideas around why we use adjectives and how they are used at an early age to improve on their creative writing skills and help broaden their vocabularies.
In this WIKI you will find four progressive lessons aimed at year 2/3 level. They begin by introducing adjectives with by involving students in basic games and getting them to write basic sentences and then progress to using adjectives to write their own creative stories using power-point.
The lessons cover the following Outcomes and Conventions in English.
Outcomes
